Apple is slowly but surely moving toward its own autonomous electric passenger car and now plans to put it on the assembly line by 2024. This was reported in an “exclusive” Reuters feed, citing insiders.
The source also mentions some kind of revolutionary battery technology for a possible Apple car, rumors of which have been circulating for several years: Reports of the mysterious Project Titan initiative to develop an autonomous car have appeared periodically since 2014.
The cornerstone of Apple’s car is a new type of battery designed to “radically” lower the cost of the unit over current solutions and increase the vehicle’s range, according to a source who reportedly saw this revolutionary battery with his own eyes.
Granted, the potential battery development outlined by Apple is inadvertently associated with the cylindrical elements of the new Tesla-developed 4680 format, which should give Elon Musk’s company the opportunity to launch an affordable electric car with an autopilot for $. 25,000 by 2024. Yes, the timing is very interesting too, as is the mention of the autopilot.
There are no further details on this mysterious battery developed by Apple. And this is definitely in doubt, just remember how many patents we saw before the introduction of the new Tesla battery.
IN Apple declined to comment on this information.
The day before Reuters, the Taiwanese edition of The Economic Daily spoke about Apple’s mysterious electric car, stating the expected date of the production model launch in 2021.

At the moment, rumors about a possible revolutionary electric car from Apple seem very unconvincing, especially in the context of previous reports that the Cupertino giant has abandoned the idea of creating a complete car, redirecting resources to the development of driving systems. autonomous. These messages are likely to eventually turn out to be false, given the complete lack of more convincing evidence that Apple is finalizing its own vehicle.
